Hi @Muhammad Awais. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The error message:
SyntaxError: The requested module 'node_modules/.pnpm/vue@3.5.17_typescript@5.8.3/node_modules/vue/index.mjs' does not provide an export named 'default'
SyntaxError: The requested module 'node_modules/.pnpm/vue@3.5.17_typescript@5.8.3/node_modules/vue/index.mjs' does not provide an export named 'default'
typically indicates an issue with how the Vue module is being imported, especially in an ESM (ECMAScript Module) context. This can happen if: - The module is being imported as a default export, but it only provides named exports. - There is a mismatch between CommonJS and ESM import styles. According to the Nuxt documentation, such issues often arise when a dependency does not properly support ESM or when the import style does not match the module's export style. For example, if you try to import a default export from a module that only provides named exports, you'll see this error. The recommended approach is to check the module's exports and adjust your import statements accordingly. For instance, if the module only provides named exports, you should use:
import * as Vue from 'vue'
import * as Vue from 'vue'
or, if you need the default export and it's not provided, you may need to use:
import { default as Vue } from 'vue'
import { default as Vue } from 'vue'
Additionally, Nuxt suggests that if you encounter such issues with third-party libraries, you can try to resolve them by transpiling the problematic library or aliasing it to a compatible version in your nuxt.config:
export default defineNuxtConfig({
build: {
transpile: ['vue']
}
})
export default defineNuxtConfig({
build: {
transpile: ['vue']
}
})
or
export default defineNuxtConfig({
alias: {
'vue': 'vue/dist/vue.esm-bundler.js'
}
})
export default defineNuxtConfig({
alias: {
'vue': 'vue/dist/vue.esm-bundler.js'
}
})
If the issue persists, it may be due to the way the upstream library (in this case, Vue) is published. The Nuxt documentation provides more details and troubleshooting steps for ESM issues, including how to handle default and named exports and how to use tools like mlly for interop compatibility. For more information, see the official Nuxt documentation on Troubleshooting ESM Issues and What Kinds of Problems Can There Be?. If you are using a specific version of Vue or a custom build setup, ensure that your import statements and build configuration are compatible with the module format provided by Vue and your dependencies. If the problem is with a third-party library, you may need to wait for an upstream fix or apply a workaround as described above. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
